There was horror in Harlem on Tuesday when an 83-year-old nun was killed and four others were injured in police chase that turned into a mangled mess on Lenox Avenue.

It was a horrendous, near head-on collision that happened around 9:30 a.m and killed Sister Mary Celine Graham. Police, investigating an armed robbery, had stopped a blue mini-van at 141st Street and Lenox Avenue.

This is horrible. The only comfort is knowing that the sister is in a much better place now.

There hasn’t been a Rod Serling episode or Stephen King novel been writ that would provide a twisted mangled ending good enough for these perps.

Sister Graham, who suffered from Parkinson's, lived in a convent just three blocks away, the Franciscan Handmaids of Mary.

God rest our Sister in Christ.

That's a felony car stop.

I'm not gonna second guess my fellow officers, but I'm curious as to why all the passengers weren't ordered out of the car. Will read more.

A criminal caused the nun’s death. The police chase was not the cause of her death.

Rev. Al will blame the po-lice.

I'm going to guess the nun is white since we haven't heard from Rev. 911.
